As a cloud-based, paperless law office, we’re uniquely positioned for less disruption than most businesses. While our office currently remains open with summer hours (M-Th 8-5:30 and F 8-12), we are implementing the following changes in our day-to-day-operations:

We continue to offer appointments and meetings electronically via phone, video chat, or email as well as in person if you prefer.

In keeping with State Executive Order 63, we will require all persons to sanitize their hands, and wear a mask, prior to entering the elevator. For your convenience, we have supplies in our lobby.

Our clients continue to have 24/7 access to their records via our client portal. Let us know how we can help you during this stressful time. Please call 757-453-7744 today and let the experienced lawyers of Parks Zeigler, PLLC assist you with your legal matters.

The end of the year is that time when we all begin shopping for the perfect holiday gifts for our loved ones, which means we spend more time in malls and on our computers visiting online retailers such as Amazon, Etsy, Target, etc. Because of the increased time spent shopping, there is an increased chance that this year is the year your information could be stolen. So, we want to remind you of the steps you can take to help protect yourself and your loved ones!

Avoid using public Wi-Fi to shop online.

Do a quick Google search for new scams running in your region or nationally. This will help you identify malicious emails or phone calls looking to take advantage of your holiday goodwill.

Look over your passwords and make sure they vary from one account to the next. Password managers are great tools to help with this, because we all know it’s next to impossible to remember different passwords for all the separate accounts you maintain. We personally like www.lastpass.com, but there are others that do the trick.

Finally, remember to keep an eye on your accounts. The sooner you spot foul play, the sooner you can fix the problem.

It is not matter of “if” you will be a victim of credit fraud, it is a matter of “when” – it is only a matter of time given how wide-spread the issue is becoming. Knowing how to remedy the situation is equally as important as knowing how to try and stop it. Please contact us if you have any questions about protecting your information or rectifying a breach.
